Hello Guys,
I use a laptop SATA drive to make backups. It is accessed through an SATA/USB interface on my laptop.
I normally create a new file system on this drive and do a dump/restore backup.
Code:
mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -j -L home /dev/sde1
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
dump 0uaf - /home | (cd /mnt && restore -ruf - )All run perfect and the dump and restore operations complete in due time. Perfect.
But upon completion, I can't work on the partition (like for an fsck for example) because the disk is busy. And stays busy for a very very long time (hours) with the access light on the interface flashing. (did not wait long enough to see the light stopping flashing)
I've a process accessing the disk :
Code:
lsof | grep sdc1
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1000/doc
Output information may be incomplete.
jbd2/sdc1 21618 root cwd DIR 253,2 4096 2 /
jbd2/sdc1 21618 root rtd DIR 253,2 4096 2 /
jbd2/sdc1 21618 root txt unknown /proc/21618/exeSo my question is what is going on here and should I worry ?
And are my backup at risk ?
Many thanks in advance for your help and answers.
Have a nice and bright day.
